Here's one sure bet:

You can see Brian Wilkie with the Hoyle Brothers every Friday night at 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm; One of the longest running gigs in the area. At the Empty Bottle on Western Ave about 1100 North.

I’m playing a lot lately, like about twice a week somewhere with lots of different bands. I don’t know how, but it sure is fun. I’m with “Bart Alonzo” this Friday at “The Four Points Whiskey Lounge” in Medina. Also playing in crown point IN with a good bar band and Lisle with another band. Also playing steel with some jazz buddies at the Serbian Village in the city on 4/30 for “Hootenanny Night” whatever that is - first time for me. And could be great or a train wreck. Fun either way. +1 for Brian with the Hoyles at Empty Bottle.
